While checking the quarters I save for laundry, I check the dates before putting then in my laundry container. This was the last one in the pile that I was checking for the date thats when I noticed the error in the coin. Now, I want to get it checked to see what something like this would be worth.

Today went out with my husband and one of the places was the Dollar store, the one I was at yesterday. When I walked in I noticed a penny in the same spot as the one I found yesterday so I went and picked it up no one was standing in line at the time. When it came time to check out I was waiting for my husband to finish what he was looking for, I than noticed more pennies in the same area so I got in line with him and when it was his turn to pay I picked them up. Found 4 pennies...

This morning I went to two Elementary schools and at each one I didn't get to much. At the first school I did very good there earlier this year, but not today. I found .54 cents in clad, might of done good if I stuck it out there but the grass was wet and I was starting to get cold. I went to the second school not any better found this heart that registered as a penny, it measures 1 1/4" Wide x 1 1/8" High here I found .40 cents. With it being low I called it a day and went home. As someone told me "even a bad day is a good day".

This morning I went back to searching Elementary schools. Since the kids have started back for the school year, today searched three. The first school found some clad, here I found .83 cents and one earring the only mark on the back side is Disney. After this school I went on to another not to far away. I did very good here more clad coins just about everywhere, I found $3.30 the gold tone bow from a necklace and the zipper-pull thingy with the name Cody. Than on to the third and last school for the day, located not far down the road, also did good here found $2.18 in clad and another house key.

Went out detecting this morning, before it gets to Hot, supposed to get up to 90 degrees today. As usual I started out at the TotLot, found a whapping 5 pennies (one was a Canadian penny). I than went into the grassy area, than I started finding some coins. Not far from the Carousel I found this Spider pin, some of the black (I think) Rhinestones where missing. Not long after taking the picture it broke in half, it broke in the area that was missing the stone. I also saw no kind of mark so must of been costume jewelry (found just under the grass roots below soil surface). It registered on my machine in the pulltab/nickel/can slaw range. It's starting to get very warm so I called it a day at 10:30AM.

Went to search at two parks this morning, first one is near my sister's house. I found a bunch of clad and this bullet, looks like it could come from the same kind of bullet case I found yesterday. At this park I found $2.60, one of the quarters I dug up here I missed it by being silver by 1 year, it was a 1965. Last year, I did find a 1964 quarter by the tennis courts in this park.

Park two is a bit smaller it always gives me some finds. Clad found here is $1.36 and two house keys, first key found was in the wood chips and the second one I dug out of the ground. Both registered as a penny on my ACE250.

I have been having back and leg pain so not getting out at much right now, but I did get out this morning especially since the weather is starting to get cooler. I went back up to the park at the beach, started in the Tot Lot there I found a few pennies, not many going to the park lately. There ia a memorial for the Vietnam Vets and the other Wars that have happened located near the play area, I searched near there and found these bullet casings the two cleaner ones I found on the surface of the ground the others I dug (all were about 2in. down (found 17). In the past I did find 1 that I dug up. I believe it was from a service that was performed there on the Holiday and then did 21 gun firing.

Up near the board walk, I found some pennies. I than got a strong penny signal when I dug it up seeing the the grooves I thought was a stack of pennies as soon as it was out of the ground I saw it was this ring. It is a junk ring. As I was heading back again near the area of the Memorial I come across a coin spill 6 quarters and 1 nickel were recovered from the hole. I searched for about 2 hours than called it a day for I was starting to hurt again. I do plan on going out again in the morning, need to excercise the back.

Figured I search the area near the Carousel, different grassy area. Found some clad coins and another President $1.00 coin (Thomas Jefferson 3rd president 1801-1809) 2007P. After a bit I went a little into the sandy area, while searching around a large tree I spotted a Dragonfly sitting on a stick (he was rather large compared to the ones seen flying around). I took the stick with the insect sitting on it and lightly touched it to the tree, it raised a leg and walked onto the bark. Didn't want it to get stepped on and it was still in the sunshine (probably trying to warm up). Wish I had my camera with me when I saw that. Soon I will be getting back to my drawing, something to do in the winter...

This morning I decided to try and get back into detecting so I went to the park at the beach, the temp. was rather chilly when I arrived than turned into a nice cool morning, no problems with the heat or humidity (ah, it felt good). I searched the Tot Lot, only a few coins the first one was a quarter. So I went on into the park, here I found many coins some areas had spills and many were found on the surface. Before I left I stopped at the Carousel to say Hi to Michael, he's the guy that runs it. He was getting it ready to shut down for the winter. Afterwards, I decided to call it a day (to my surprise) it was almost noon and I started at 7AM. As I was walking back to my car I decided to search around two more picnic tables I found more coins and a spill of pennies. Today I searched for 5 hours, not including the break at the Carousel.

Two of us went to visit with our son, my husband shot some basketball for a little while with him, than the three of us went to sit on the swing in the back yard. While I was sitting on the lawn chair I spotted two pennies laying on the dirt, they are 1982 and 1978. I save all pre 1982's and 82's (the 82's, I will weigh them to weed out the zincoln's).

This morning, I finally returned my bottles and cans for the deposit. I would of perferred to have gone metal detecting but my body is in such pain. From the two bags in the hallway, and a couple of bags in the car from cans I find while detecting, I got a total of $4.00. Also, there was this man at the customer service counter getting change from whatever transaction, he dropped a penny after he walked away I went and picked it up. Hey, find a penny pick it up all the day I have Good Luck...

The first place I went to was the beach play area, found my first Kennedy Half Dollar Bicentennial one, I was hoping it be of silver but hey was fun to see it in the woodchips. It registered on my machine as a strong $1.00. Found a total of $1.33 in clad in the play area. I decided to go to another park after this Tot Lot. Did pretty good there also lots of nickels usually don't get to many nickels, more pull tabs than nickels. I noticed on my machine that when it's a nickel the signal is strong not moving around and loud. Found most of the coins around the picnic pavilion. At this place I found $1.00 in clad coins.

This morning, I headed back to the beach to search for more coins found $1.57 and hope to get a good find but not at this park. (Do have to say that these flies are annoying). After here, I decided to stop at another park for a quick search did find .02 cents thought I'd find more but what was registering dimes and pennies where bottle caps did find this Scout scarf holder.
